My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.
I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.
I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.
I believe that we are most happy when we live a life that is consistent with our values. My approach is strength-based and insight focused, meaning we will focus on what you do well, what matters to you, and bringing awareness to you as a whole person. We willl focus on bringing more awareness to how you experience the world so you can begin to make more informed decisions and make the changes that will bring you more happiness and peace in your life.
I hope that when you see me for therapy, your first experience is that you are seen and heard and empowered to explore the things that you fear, that have caused you pain, but also to seek out the things that give you life and bring meaning for you. I have done my own therapy and know how hard it can be to come and talk to a stranger about the things you fear most. My relationship with you is my first priority and I value the courage it takes to take that first step.
